Ageing
At Hale Aesthetics, we offer personalised solutions and advanced preventative treatments to address all aspects of ageing skin, employing the latest, state-of-the-art aesthetic lasers, and medical-grade skincare to deliver visible and long-lasting results.
Skin ageing is a natural process influenced by both intrinsic and extrinsic factors, resulting in the decrease in production of both collagen and elastin and leading to reduced hydration, firmness and elasticity over time.
The hallmarks of aged skin include:
- Wrinkles and fine lines which commonly appear around the eyes, mouth and forehead.
- Volume loss most noticeable in areas like the cheeks and under the eyes, leading to a hollowed or sunken appearance.
- Skin laxity most often seen in the neck, jowls and jawline.
Two types of ageing
Intrinsic Ageing (Natural Ageing)
Intrinsic Ageing (Natural Ageing)
Intrinsic (or natural) ageing is impacted by:
- Genetics.
- Collagen and elastin breakdown, which are the proteins responsible for skin’s firmness and elasticity.
- Cell turnover slowing down and causing the skin to lose its youthful glow and become more prone to dullness and dehydration.
- Decrease in subcutaneous fat and volume leading to less plump skin and deeper wrinkles.
Extrinsic Ageing (Environmental Ageing)
Extrinsic Ageing (Environmental Ageing)
Extrinsic (or environmental) ageing is impacted by:
- Sun exposure, with ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun accelerating the breakdown of collagen and elastin, leading to premature wrinkles, pigmentation and skin laxity.
- Pollution exposure which can cause oxidative stress, contributing to skin ageing and damage.
- Lifestyle factors such as smoking, stress, poor diet and lack of sleep can all negatively impact skin health, accelerating the ageing process.
- Repeated facial expressions including frowning, squinting or smiling can lead to the formation of fine lines and wrinkles over time.
